The Auger collaboration is made up of more than 350 scientists from Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Vietnam. The project started in 1992 at a meeting of a few scientists in Paris. The collaboration continues to grow.
